Group build #2 off and running. The Tiger 1 is basically complete bar a few tools to add. Then it’s lined up for the spray booth. With summer here “at last” in the UK I do enjoy modelling “al fresco” no that’s not rude.........So with this in mind I turned to the Tristar 1/35 Sturmpanzer IV Early Verizon - Mid Production.... As some of you may remember I posted this pic back in end of April in response to Martins “what’s on your bench” In doing some research today, it transpires that Sturmpanzer’s did participate in Normandy around about August.......... So only having done the wheels back back in April, I’d like to enter this as my second contribution to the GB.........typically Tristar there are a mountain of sprues and part count around 500.......including individual tracks. I await the judges decision........

Sorry double post

Dale, blame it on it losing to England yesterday in the Ashes.........

Ernie that’s amazing Hannants are that much cheaper.

Man that’s good...........

Stunning, you’ll have to put some lights in the hull to highlight all this..........

Ryan, great progress, how do you cope being on so many forums. Just being on here is enough plus trying to find some bench time............

Got to love a Sherman, looking good Robert. I have three Sherman’s in the cabinet a two in the stash...........I feel the need for another......

Thanks smitty

Smitty can I use that reference on a F4J Marines.........?

I’ve only built the SH, got to say it’s not Tamiya build, it fights back..........

You did well, we would all like a 11% pay rise.............

Rog, that’s one big bad assed spending spree there, beautiful kits.......you said not all for building?

Yep we’re one the hundreds of thousands who have had their holiday flight cancelled because British Airways pilots are going on strike. Just had to pick, of all days the one when we’re returning home. Always been a very loyal BA flyer, not really sure any more.....

You’re going to have to photograph the hell out of this baby when you’re done......gorgeous

So last January I had a tally up what was on the SOD.......... M3A4E8 Panzer III G Male IV Fw190 D9 - 48th Marder III H Matilda Tamiya Birdcage - 32nd SH Tempest V - 32nd LRDG Chevy Sherman M4DV well items 1, 3, 5, 9, & 10 are finished and in the cabinet had it not been for the GB 2 & 7 are next.........

We all do that Ernie, I have the 1/350 Tamiya KGV, I thought, I know I’ll replicate the 8 gun Bofors will brass barrels....... need the bleeding Hubble Telescope for crying out loud

Very clean build ......looking forward to seeing some more......

Thanks Harv, you ought to try a bit of armour.....

Thanks much appreciated, really enjoying this build. Never done so much PE in my life.....

I might just have a go........

Thanks Rob, I think I’m going to have to use Tamiya rattle can primer before I start camouflaging......... Wish I’d had another 4 hours this weekend............

Another update, getting pretty close now just last PE and tools to add .......some pics.....wish I had time during the week to top and tail this.......

Rob, just catching up with the GB, your figure painting is better than I’d ever achieve. I’d like to add figures to my builds but need to learn some skills.......looking forward to the big reveal.......

Robert, welcome back great to see a Sherman in the GB.......looking good.....
